Rosen joins firm of former White House communications director

Hilary Rosen, former
chairwoman and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America, is joining
SKDKnickerbocker, according to a statement put out by the firm Thursday.

Rosen will be a managing director
at the firm, where Anita Dunn is a principal. Dunn was part of President Obama’s
inner circle during his 2008 campaign and recently served as White House
communications director.

“SKDKnickerbocker is uniquely
placed to grow its public affairs practice both in Washington and in New York,
and it’s a bonus to work with longtime friends and colleagues,” Rosen said in
the statement.

Rosen was previously in charge of the Brunswick Group’s
Washington office, a public relations firm. She also was political director of
the Huffington Post during the 2008 election.
